Chapter 1403 Reach Fu County ([-])

"Where's the village chief?" Qi Ke caressed the wolf's head that reached his waist, with a calm expression on his face.

"Not in the crowd." Zhao Lin and the surrounding maids had already seen the scattered crowd clearly, and did not see anyone with similar status, "Maybe they are still at home and don't know we are here."

"Let's go to the village. If the village chief doesn't show up, we'll go shopping by ourselves."

Qi Ke really doesn't care if anyone greets her, maybe it has something to do with her age, she doesn't have the habit of being superior and pretentious, it doesn't matter if she has it, in her opinion, she has already rented the whole village from Shu Yingqianhu, It doesn't matter whether there is a village chief who leads the villagers to cooperate with them in developing production and labor. The plan will be steadily advanced and will not be affected by them.

But looking back, the premise that she doesn't care is because the village as a whole is already owned by the Bai family army, and the livelihood of the villagers is all in the mind of Shu Yingqianhu. If he is willing, these villagers will be new military households. He doesn't care about the life and death of the villagers, what has he to do.

With this kind of thinking, Shuying’s Qianhu didn’t even care about whether there were villagers fleeing privately by boat. When they got to the sea, life or death was their fate. Life was a narrow escape, and being a savage on a deserted island was also life. Do not.

After all, Qi Ke was still unable to wander around the village by himself. The village chief who was packing up the harvest at home was led to Qi Ke by the hurried villagers.

"Are you the village chief?" Qi Ke looked at the other party's gray hair and wrinkled face, looking older than the old ninth master of Siliu Village, "The village chief is so old this year?"

"Two out of forty old people." The village head hunched his back and bowed in fear.

"42?!" Qi Ke was a little surprised. Although he knew that a hard life makes people age quickly, he didn't expect the village head to be so old at only 42. "How many years have you been the village head?"

"It was done last year."

"Where was the previous village chief?"

"Catching the sea, I knocked on a rock, and there wasn't much bleeding, but I developed a high fever, which disappeared within a few days. After his death, I was the oldest in the village, and the villagers made me the village head."

"Is 42 the oldest person in the village? In addition to those who have lived for generations, there are also some migrants in this village. It is said that they were sent by the Chen family in the past. There is no elder among those people?"

"Those people didn't grow up by the sea. They didn't know this kind of life. They could be swept away by the waves. Some of those people died, some escaped, and some went back by some unknown method. , it is people like us who have lived in the village for a long time.”

"That's right, let's not mention the past, do you now know that the whole village belongs to the Bai family army?"

"I know, these days we have been waiting for the military master to send someone to take over the village."

"Well, do you know that military production refers to the entire village and does not include you people? That is to say, regardless of whether you are in the livelihood army, you are free to leave and go your own way."

"I know, I know, many people have already left, and now the people in the village are old, weak, sick and disabled. The army let us live by ourselves. It sounds nice, but where can we go here for generations? If we leave, we will die .”

The village head and the surrounding villagers all had numb expressions on their faces, and they were startled by the wolves at first, but now that the wolves were circling around, no one was startled.
